Oh my good lord, thank you for Dulcolax. I took half a one last night and nothing but thankfully an additional one this morning has sorted the problems. I feel good today though. DH has his friends over for a little football afternoon so I had a lie in and put on some DVDs, got my hot water bottle (and the cats joined me) and I had a loooovely time. They boys left at 3 for some 3D football action in town and so I moved into the lounge and had a lush relaxing day.
I've been reading lots of LL blogs It's strange that I'm already thinking about these steps already Today was a big day for me, cos usually when DH is out I graze and snack. I can proudly say that I didn't even consider "cheating". Because I'm in ketosis I had to remind myself to take my packs. Instead of taking them when I'm hungry (I'm not in the least bit hungry) I'm taking them according to the clock. It's weird. I LIKE IT! Wooop!

I'm just home from a fantastic group session!
Last week I wasn't feeling so positive but this week was FAB. I guess people were just quiet last week as they were nervous. Everyone was positively BUBBLING with energy and chatting away. Most lost 6lbs ish and I lost 8lbs according to her scales She was very happy with me and I was beaming!
Firstly we talked about what we learnt on our first week of lighterlife. Mine was that you don't have to go out and eat to socialise. Someone else said that going to the fridge was purely habit - she wasn't hungry so why go to the fridge? Another was while cooking she doesn't need to eat bits and pieces, and another was she gives huge portions to her husband and kids. All things I'm guilty of! Was a good learning curve!
We discussed last weeks homework which was our goals and aims for the month and how we aim to do get there. Mine was to identify my habits and to keep a journal of happy thoughts. It was interesting to see what other people said, things like they want to identify their trigger foods etc. I'm SO glad I'm going!

Well done on the loss and I'm really pleased you have found a good group. It makes a real difference. I could totally identify with your post about picking at leftovers. I used to do that too. But you learn new habits on LL. So much so that when I was cooking a (legitimate) meal the other day (I'm on lite now) I had to remind myself I was allowed to taste and adjust the seasoning! Lol.

Day 10 - Weight 13st 9 BMI 36.09 Weight loss to date - 9.5lbs
I'm glad to have lost another lb, it's not only uplifting but I'm so eager to get out of the 13s. I KNOW it will slow down now, and I'll be happy with a 3 or 4lb loss this week. I'm just so glad the scales are going in the right direction tbh. My trousers are loose and I'm doing ok I think.
Wanted to eat today but it's cos OH has gone away on business for a few days and I miss him. It sounds pathetic but I felt like I needed a pick me up and ordinarily I'd go straight to the cupboards but I'm being strong! Watched a good film, brushed the cats and about to paint my toenails. I've tried one each of the bars this week, I'm not overly impressed and I'm convinced my foody thoughts are cos they are making me hungry. Think I will have my last bar tonight then stick to shakes and soup from then on. Keep it simple.
BMI is getting close to 35 which takes me down to class 1 obese (as opposed to class 2). I think I'm a tad overtired which is making me a little miserable (and so the vicious cycle of misery - comfort eat) begins so tonight I plan on going to bed, watching some DVDs and sleeping as late as I want tomorrow because I've got a few days off!!! YAY! I've written a lot in my journal today and I'm SICK of TOTM. I'm not hungry, it's my damn head playing silly *******!
Tomorrow is a lovely new day, might go swimming

I agree with you about the bars Blue.I don't have them either.
Too tempting and they seem to wake up my appetite.
I stick to a simple boring regime of shakes and soups.

Day 11 - Weight 13st 8.75 BMI 36.04 Weight loss to date - 9.75lbs
Was surprised to have lost (even a TEENY amount) this morning. I have a day off so got up gone 12 :S Really messed me up though cos i was parched, think it woke me up tbh. Oli was away last night and I couldn't sleep 'til gone 5am so I woke tired, headachey and thirsty. It also knocked back my packs a bit but I caught up. Not much to report, it's pretty much plain sailing at the moment.
Did something special though, I COOKED! Thought poor DH would need something when he got home so I made an awesome looking garlic and hoi sin prawn stirfry. Drank my choc shake whilst cooking so no temptation to pick. First time I've cooked and not eaten while cooking! Weird! I'm dead proud.
Got a few things to look forward to and "slim down to" in the next few months
*A romantic break to Miskin Manor thanks to a Christmas gift from my brother (includes a 3 course meal and breakfast so will wait a while for this). Amazing spa here!!
*A night in the hotel we got married in (New House Hotel) Includes food etc but I'm not bothered (thank you groupon!)
*A night in a nice hotel in Usk, Llansanffraed. Includes food too, but also involves a Spa (groupon again)
*A girly weekend away to somewhere hot and beachy!!! (with some slim friends so MUST be slim!!!)
I'd love to be able to go out and buy some special clothes for these occasions (especially the holiday) so I WILL stay on plan.
Another day done! xxx
ETA: Overbrewed green tea = cats p*ss. Seriously gross x
